I have a pair of 3310 disk arrays attached to a V880 running 2.8.

Each array has 5 x 36GB disks (for DB access)
I have created 2 logical drives on each array of 2 disks, with one global
spare per array.

The logical drives are partitioned into 4 and 6 partitions repectively. (NB
not all logical drive space has been used)

These are then mapped as 10 host luns.

This week I changed my mind on the size of the first partition on the 2nd
logical drive. I decided I wanted it bigger. So I

1. deleted all LUN mappings.
2. Deleted all partitions on logical disk2
3. Deleted all partitions on logical disk 2
4. recreated LG2 partitions
5. remapped *all* host luns
6. reset controleler
7. reboot -- -r v880


problem is disk 5 in the array (LG2 partition 1) comes up with the wrong
size in format, 6GB not 9 as newly partitioned.
in addition /var/adm/messages shows the wrong cyclinder count?

Any ideas ?

Make sure the 3310 firmware has been upgraded to 3.25Q and host (v880) 
patched.
